Escaping the Entrepreneurial Seizure: Interview with Michael Gerber
Michael Gerber’s name should sound familiar. I recommend his bestseller, The E-Myth Revisited, as the must-read classic on automation. It brief, it discusses how to create scalable businesses that are based on rules and not outstanding employees; and how to become an owner instead of constant micromanager. Michael also had a enormous influence on me as a first-time writer. His words to me were simple during our first lunch:

Universal Life Insurance
In the early 1980’s a new, more flexible version of whole life insurance entered the indemnity business world. This new life insurance was known as Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Insurance, or, more simply put: Universal Life Insurance. Very similar to whole life insurance, ULI showcases a savings constituent that flourishes on a tax-deferred basis. A fraction of the premiums are invested by the life insurance company through a variety of facets including: mortgages, money market endowments, and bonds. The revenue accrued through these investments is directly credited to the insurance policy, tax-deferred. An assured minimum interest rate applied to the life insurance package means that no matter how the individual investments do, the insurance policy is going to retain a minimum yielding on the money.

When starting out on this journey of entrepreneurship, I had heard so much about internet marketing.

The Two Facets of Leadership
Why do we follow others? The word leadership logically implies followship. Someone must decide to follow the leader for some reason. But why do we follow another person? When you boil down the complexities of human behavior, the primary reasons we follow someone else are very basic. First, we see a personal benefit to the behavior or actions of the other individual. We see the methodology they utilize as better than our current method or we see an easier way to accomplish a given task. Second, the leader actually influences our thinking to personal see value where it did not exist in the past. This cognitive influence is the more complex of the two pillars of leadership.
A Matter of Trust
Trust is the basis for all successful leaders and all successful relationships for that matter. You cannot buy trust, but it is free. Trust is priceless yet can be earned over time. Have you ever tried to request someone’s trust? Maybe it was a team member, customer or a colleague. You may have wanted a decision to be made in your favor. To overcome some initial disagreement and expedite the decision making process, you might resort to “Hey, just trust me!” That statement is worthless. Either the other party already trusted you based on your past actions or they did not trust you and your request won’t change that. Trust is not spoken, it is demonstrated. Trust cannot be requested, it must be earned.

WHY KENNY ROGER’S GAMBLER SONG MAKE A LOT OF BUSINESS SENSE
